Those are Gladstone Region deputy mayor, Chris Trevor's words as he prepares to fight for a clean, coal-fired power station for Gladstone.

Cr Trevor and Mayor, Matt Burnett will meet with Resources and Northern Australia Minister, Senator Matt Canavan this afternoon to advocate for Gladstone.

"We are going up there to continue our action in lobbying very hard for a new coal-fired power station to come to Gladstone," he said.

"We believe we have all the right synergies in place for the new coal-fired power station to happen in Gladstone - we have salt water, we have the port and we have some of the best skilled and qualified workers in Australia, not only to build the plant, but also to man it."
